A battle for survival
When Audrey and Kevin discover someone has tampered with her mind, they must work together to determine why. Because if they fail, their lives and the lives of many other hackers will be destroyed.

My Thoughts:
Audrey’s job is to help those who have a tough job. Kevin is mystified by what he hears. These two seem like ordinary people but our author takes their story to the next level. Their story delves into the world of the paranormal. Even though this is pure fantasy, their lives become intertwined.
Audrey has a job that might be found in reality but some don’t think that there’s such a thing as a psychic. But in reality, we do have hackers – who might be jealous of Kevin. This author grabbed my attention right out of the gate. I asked myself why I’ve never heard of her before and what have I missed by not reading the other Mind Hacker novellas.
This is a book that, depending on the time you have, you might be able to finish in one sitting. And if you have extra time, why not check out another. This is an author that reminds me what I love about the paranormal. Anything is possible and it’s all pure imagination. I love something that’s going to make my curiosity come alive.

EXCERPTS:
Audrey wrinkled her brow and considered. “Several years ago, maybe, but they seemed to get worse around the time Luke first arrived. That was about six months ago.”
“Who’s Luke?”
“The hacker who went rogue.”
“Is Luke a class ten?”
“No, of course not. I don’t work with class tens. You’re the exception. Why are you glaring at me?”
Kevin had risen from the couch and was pacing. “If you don’t normally work with class tens, don’t you find it strange that you would be given an assignment to cure an incurable former hacker who is one?”
She sat forward. “Well, of course, I found it strange I was asked to work with you. I questioned it, but my boss didn’t know the reason. He’s new to the program and not well-versed in CMU policies. And for your information, I’m pretty good at what I do. I’ve had some success working with damaged hackers. Up until Luke, I had a fantastic reputation and was on my way to a promotion.”
“Your reputation may be in shreds for a reason. Your memory loss isn’t random. The person who removed your blocks knew what they were doing.”
“Why would someone do this?”
“You must have witnessed something you shouldn’t have. That would be the only reason to erase your memory. They could have removed your blocks to make you an easy target for hackers to invade your mind. If I had to hazard a guess, I’d say whoever’s behind this caused Luke to go rogue so you’d be fired.”
“But I was told I can come back if I’m able to cure you. Why would they give me the opportunity to return if they wanted me permanently gone?”
He clapped his hands together. “That’s it! It’s not counterintuitive because you can’t cure me, and whoever this is knows it. They sent you here because they know you’ll spend all your time trying. It’s only an excuse to get you away from the situation. In the end you will fail, and you won’t be able to return to the CMU. But in the meantime, you’ll be out of the way.”
She got up slowly. My God, it made a convoluted sense. A cold chill crawled down her spine, and she shivered. They had sent her here deliberately and didn’t intend to give her job back. How would she ever earn the money she needed to meet her monthly expenses? Her mother would suffer because she couldn’t get the care needed for severe stroke patients. Her sister would be a Harvard dropout.
She dropped her head in her hands. She didn’t realize she was shaking until a pair of powerful arms encircled her, pulling her into a hard male chest.
